Jason Witten of Dallas Cowboys making progress with spleen

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is making good progress recovering from a spleen injury, and is scheduled to see another doctor next week.

Coach Jason Garrett said doctors have monitored the Pro Bowl tight end's tests and blood work since he sustained a lacerated spleen after taking a hard hit in the preseason opener Aug. 13. The coach said everything has come back positive and that "everything is going fairly well."
